George Singleton: Sports Reporter?

| No Comments

One night George was listening to a radio program where people could call and share local high school football scores. He called in and said, “I’ve got a score for you—Fine Arts Center 42, Washington Center 0.”

“Wow,” the host said. “I didn’t even know the Fine Arts Center had a football team.”

It didn’t, and the Washington Center was for special-needs kids.

“Oh yeah,” George said. “They’re just a bunch of skinny artists, but they’re getting better. I’ll call you next week when they play the South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind.”
